Cpt.Kirk Might become Captain America!

[The Bat]

Word is, Chris Pine is the front runner for Steve Rogers!! I hope it's true...because I think he'd be GREAT!!

I could buy that. The guy has a lot of charisma and screen pressence, as well as good acting chops. His was the hardest role to pull off in Trek (to me even more so than Spock) and he did it.

He was rumored to be in the running for GL too right? He may be the new go-to-guy for super heroes.

Having one guy straddle two franchises? Hmmmm....no one else in the running?

[Meule]

I could see him pull it off

[Surfsup]

I can actually see him as Steve Rogers, great casting if they get him. What a coup it would be for him to land two big franchises!

[palitoy]

I really like Pine's humility, I'd like him as Captain America.

Not that Pine has proven himself for the long haul, but I'd rather give it to him than Shia Lebeouf if we are talking about franchise straddlers.

Oh please not Shia Lebeouf for something like this.

Harrison Ford did it with Han Solo & Indy Jones. Whoops! samurainoir beat me to it!

I read somewhere that director, Joe Johnston said last week on the Wolfman junket that they are looking at unknowns for the part. It mentioned Jensen Ackles of SuperNatural and Chad Michael Muarry of some other CW or Fox show.

But Pine would be fine with me. I'd still pick Howie Long if he were younger and could act. He wears the flat top well and would be imposing the the Cap Uniform.

Here's a nice blog piece on the movie.

When I read this title,I thought we were talking about William Shatner.

Wow...Pine might be Captain America...and Chris Hemsworth...the actor who played his father in Star Trek (and who's actually younger than Pine)...is going to be Thor.

Yeah...I would have love to have seen Chris Helmsworth as Captain America, if he wasn't playing Thor. He certainly has that "all America Boy look"...for a Guy from New Zealand.

[thunderbolt]

Its a wishful thinking kind of rumor.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, Howie Long would have been perfect.

Jensen Ackles would be okay too. But Pine could pull it off. I think he's just peaking now, so he's not unknown, but he's still new enough that you don't get a lot of baggage with him taking the role. A lot like Christian Bale taking the Batman role.

And Pine and Downey Jr. would work well together too I think. Those two and Ed Norton would make good Avengers. The only weird bit would be Thor played Pine's dad!!!
